Who knew all it would take was opening my eyes to see what was right in front of me?
My Charlie.
Charlie and Brooks have been best friends since the 3rd grade and Charlie has been in love with Brooks for nearly as long. Charlie knows nothing could ever happen between them, especially when Brooks gets married to his college girlfriend. Five years later Brooks is divorced and staying with Charlie until he’s back on his feet. Charlie is determined to give Brooks the perfect holiday, even if it breaks his heart to not be able to have Brooks the way he wants. But when a few cocktails lead to some truths being spilled, Charlie discovers that there’s a real chance that he could finally have everything he ever wanted with Brooks.
I don’t know about you, but I am so ready to just lose myself in holiday romances for the foreseeable future and this was the perfect novella to kick things off! Chock full of all the warm cozy vibes that come with the season – Christmas tree farms, hot cocoa, sledding, ice skating, the town of Moose Falls has it all. Combine that with heaps of pining and the teensiest bit of angst and you’ve got a delightful holiday romance.
I loved Charlie and Brooks’ friendship and their transition to more was seamless. They dive right in when they finally get on the same page but given their extensive history, it didn’t feel rushed to me. This may not have been a very long book but it was plenty spicy when they do get together! As I mentioned, there’s the teensiest bit of angst but even that felt believable and the way everything wrapped up was super sweet. This book was the exact vibe I need right now and I hope to get to return to Moose Falls in the future!
